As soon as he arrived in Dengzhou, apart from wandering around the city on the first day, he went straight to Dengzhou Guards.
If it was just an epidemic, it wouldn't be possible for a small city to cause such a big battle.
The most important thing is Dengzhou Guard.
Dengzhou Guard is not a single guard post, but the collective name of three guard posts: Dengzhou, Weihai, and Lingshan. It has nearly 20,000 troops. This is because it is located across the sea from Qishan, an island country on the sea.
Although the Qishan Kingdom is small, all its citizens can fight. An important source of experience for the country is maritime plunder.
They had invaded Daqi earlier, but under Daqi's strong suppression, they now pay tribute to Daqi every year.
For this reason, the position of the Dengzhou Guard has become sensitive.
The commander of the Dengzhou Guard was single-handedly promoted by Xie Yuncang. Such a serious accident happened this time. Logically speaking, Xie Wenhua should avoid suspicion, but in the end, sending him here was probably a test for Xie Yuncang by the imperial court.
Therefore, before Xie Songhua set off, Xie Yuncang repeatedly told her that this time the Dengzhou Guard committed a murderous crime and took advantage of the merits. The inside story was probably not simple.
Although Xie Songhua was worried about what kind of arrangements Han Jian would make to involve her, so far, she had not dared to ask further questions, even though she knew that her cousin had already passed away.
After determining the treatment plan for the epidemic here, she handed all the things to the fourth prince. Naturally, there would be military doctors at the health center to treat the disease.
But today Xie Wenhua came over and brought bad news.
"I don't know what's going on. Xiaosi, after your prescription was sent over, it was indeed useful in the first two days. But unlike the sick people in the city, the soldiers in the guardhouse have been getting sick again and again, and they are still sick.
People are constantly getting infected. In this situation, I can only ask you to come and have a look."
When Xie Wenhua arrived, Xie Songhua was in the yard reading the feedback reports written by several doctors from the villages and towns. He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
She shook a few brochures in her hand, "That's impossible! So far, whether it's those who have gone to the capital, those in Dengzhou City, or these villagers in the countryside, the situation is basically the same.
Yeah, why is it different when you get to the guardhouse?"
Xiao Yu happened to walk in, heard the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, and stopped in the corridor.
Xie Wenhua was a little anxious, "The atmosphere in the guardhouse is very tense right now. Zhao Qingshan and Qin Sheng are both under guard. The other people below are also restless, and everyone is suspicious of each other.
Now something like this has happened again, and there are rumors that someone poisoned the guardhouse. If things continue like this, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny."
"What?!" Xie Songhua was shocked. Even if she had never been in the military, she knew what mutiny meant.
Under such circumstances, she could not escape. After all, Emperor Yufeng sent her here in front of the civil and military officials of the court. This was her responsibility.
Looking up, he saw Xiao Yu walking over. Xie Songhua quickly said, "Did the prince hear it?"
"I heard it."
"Then, Your Majesty, have you found out about Zhao Qingshan's killing of good people and taking credit in the past few days?"
Originally, Xie Songhua wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, but now that he has reached this point, he has to ask clearly.
"You think this matter is so simple?"
Xiao Yu glanced at him sideways and entered the room directly.
Xie Songhua and Xie Wenhua looked at each other, and Xie Wenhua came over and said in a low voice: "You come with me! After being here for so many days, have you seen what he did?"
Xie Songhua was puzzled and thought about it carefully. Xiao Yu seemed to be busy every day during this period, but no one knew what he was busy with.
Thinking about it carefully, if he really found out something, Dengzhou would not be so peaceful. Yesterday, she saw the prefect of Dengzhou taking the fourth prince to eat in a restaurant.
Then he...
Xie Wenhua lowered his voice and said: "I heard at the guard station that the Dengzhou guard was in his hands before, but for some reason at that time, someone from the Qishan Kingdom came in, and he happened to be away.
The second-in-command is no match for me, so bad
It almost led to a catastrophe, and later some people said that he had an affair with Qishan and intended to rebel."
Speaking of this, Xie Wenhua's voice became lower and lower, "This matter was later suppressed by the Holy Emperor, so it didn't become a big deal. Not many people knew about it. After that, he handed over Dengzhou.
So if something happens here now, he doesn’t want to care about it at all. He just comes here to show off, don’t you see that the fourth prince is running back and forth these days!”
Xie Songhua had heard from Xie Yuncang before and knew that Dengzhou seemed to be particularly different to Xiao Yu, but he did not expect that it was such a big deal.
That is a serious crime of treason. If it were spread, there is no telling what the level of trouble would be.
No wonder that pervert Han Jian had to force himself to come to Dengzhou.
"Then I..." Xie Songhua thought for a while and finally made up his mind, "Then I'll go with you. Just wait for me while I pack two pieces of clothes."
As he spoke, he hurried into the house. When he came out, the door next door also opened.
Xiao Yu changed into light clothes and walked out while tying his cuffs.
"Your Majesty, are you going out?"
During this period of time, he lived in the same compound, and Xie Songhua had somewhat understood his habits. In addition to practicing martial arts in the morning, he usually tied his hands only when he went out on horseback.
When Xiao Yu saw the question, he asked back, "Aren't you going to the guardhouse?"
"Does the prince want to go too?"
"The fourth prince said yesterday that he wanted me to help with some matters." After saying that, he walked out first, and when he reached the door, he said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Xie Songhua glanced at Xie Wenhua quietly, "Didn't you say that he doesn't want to take care of things?"
Xie Wenhua curled his lips, "Didn't you hear what he said? He was asked to go by the fourth prince. Although he obviously doesn't take the fourth prince seriously, he is also a serious prince after all, so he can't just ignore him.
?』
As he said that, he poked Xie Songhua and said, "Let's go! There's a huge emergency over there!"
Xiao Yu was already sitting in the carriage outside. Xie Songhua was about to get up when Xie Wenhua grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?"
"It's not a long journey, what kind of carriage do you want to take? Come ride with me!"
Xie Songhua looked at the tall horse and felt a dull pain in his butt, "Well... let's forget it!"
"What the hell?! Come on up!" Xie Wenhua came to pull her away without saying a word, "Why do you, a girl, always ride in a carriage with a grown man?"
Xie Songhua's scalp was numb, and he wanted to discuss it with his elder brother, when he heard Xiao Yu's voice faintly coming from the carriage, "Why don't you go, it's going to rain."
This sentence made the two brothers and sisters who were in a stalemate look up at the same time, but no, the sky had already darkened, and it did look like it was about to rain.
Xie Songhua suddenly felt like he was being pardoned. He turned around and climbed into the carriage, "Brother, it's going to rain. I'm very weak. It would be bad if I catch a cold."
Seeing his sister get in with that man again, Xie Wenhua felt very unhappy. It seemed like it was going to rain, and it was really not easy for her to ride a horse.
He quickly drove his horse closer to the carriage and said in a bad tone: "Xiaosi is from a girl's family and can't ride a horse. It's really inconvenient. The prince is a military general. Why should he take a carriage for such a small distance?"
"I don't want to get wet in the rain either."
Xiao Yu still had the same calm tone, and after finishing speaking, he threw out two words, "Let's go."
